'Escarboucle'
Nymphaea

This lily has bright vermillion red flowers, that have the outer petals tipped with white and are contrasted with deep orange stamens. They start off cup-shaped and develop into star-shaped blooms that measure 15-17cm (6-7") across.
The young leaves start off brown-tinged, maturing to round green leaves measuring 25-27cm (10-11") across.


One of the best red waterlilies that are hardy and suitable for medium-sized ponds. The flowers stay open later in the afternoon than most other hardy reds.
